Greendale, IN—Friends of Lauren Hill, a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring Lauren Hill, her dogs, and her “never give up” philosophy, are working on bringing her legacy with an effort to make the Lauren Hill Memorial Park come to life. The park will benefit all area dog owners, bike enthusiasts, and citizens.
During the beginning phase, the goal is to raise $125,000 to get the park up and running. They are actively seeking donations to get this started. The city of Greendale has granted a 15-year lease agreement on the land across from the 11th Fairway on Hidden Valley Golf Club, to cultivate it into an interactive destination with a Dog Park, Mountain Bike Trails and more.
The park will feature open green space with a 2/3 acre area for small dogs, 1/3 acre area for large dogs, and a 3-mile mountain bike trail. In the future, with additional fundraising, they envision expanding the park to include basketballs courts and other recreational oriented amenities such as disc golf.
